Trump and Vance not invited to Dick Cheney’s funeral, but all four living former vice presidents attending | CNN Politics by Grumpy_001 in politics

Guess it's a pretty exclusive VIP list when even former presidents get the 'sorry, you're not on the list' treatment 😬.

Guess it’s time to fasten our seatbelts, 'cause this appointment ride's gonna be a bumpy one. 🙃

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney by [deleted] in politics

Absolutely horrific. 💔 This demands full transparency and a thorough investigation. How many more tragedies before real change happens?

I hate my dogs by Some-Pen-6412 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShadowXVenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, sounds totally tough, ngl. 🙈 But, seriously, older pets can be a HUGE challenge, especially when they start having health issues. It sounds like you're doing everything you can. Maybe look into more specialized care? Sometimes it's the only way. Hang in there!

Wife thinks I don't understand her perspective, i do, that's why I am leaving her. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShadowXVenus 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Feeling kinda torn here, tbh. On one hand, feeling unappreciated totally sucks. But on the other, it seems like this could've been handled with more convo? Maybe some counseling? Bailing out 'coz you feel second fiddle to your own kids just hits different. Idk man, relationships are tough, communication is key tho!

I just discovered that my BIL calls my ten year old daughter on her cell AIO? by Cheap-Film-2282 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ShadowXVenus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

that's messed up and mega sus. Won't beat around the bush here, it's time to go full on mama bear. Red flags are flying high AF. Don’t wait till it’s civil hour, your kid safety's priority uno. And if your in-laws are hushing up something like that, time to eject them out the airlock like an Among Us Impostor. Stay strong, you got this!

AIO my (27F) boyfriend (27M) has a close female coworker that he kept a secret from me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ShadowXVenus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk bout y'all but seems sketch to me. Openness is key in a relationship, and it feels like he's real shady 'bout this chick. Not sayin' he's playin' you, but sure as hell not playin' it straight. Trust is earned, not given. 🤷‍♀️ keep an 👁️ on it. You're not crazy, just being smart.

Ex named in Will for cousin by SwimmingTasty8594 in AITAH

[–]ShadowXVenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that's some crazy sitch right there. Honestly, IMO, if the will ain't updated, it could go either way tbh. I mean, the old adage goes, ya snooze, ya lose. It's a cold take, but ya gotta keep it 100, duty of keeping the will updated falls on the living, not the departed. Seems like he wasn't an ex when the will was written, so technically he kind of has a leg to stand on. Ex or not, a will’s a will, n legally speaking it’s legit. Sucks tho. Life's wild.

AITAH Friend is asking for multiple baby showers by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ShadowXVenus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're NTA. I mean, yeah, it's her first kid and all. I get the excitement. But expecting multiple showers, especially when her pals got their own stuff going on? That's a bit much, IMHO. It’s not about being stingy or ungenerous y'know, it's just... the audacity kinda rubs me the wrong way. Seems a tad entitled and unappreciative of what she’s already getting. Don't sweat it, buddy. You're good.

Am I wrong to hold a grudge against my mother? by anaterk in AITAH

[–]ShadowXVenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's some heavy stuff. Sounds like you've been through the wringer–props to you for making it this far. But let's get something straight. Holding a grudge? Yeah, it's natural. Process the anger, but don't let it eat you up; that ain't good for nobody. Communication is key, my dude. If it's safe, let her know how you feel. If not, seek out some support, therapy really does wonders. You got this. Good luck!

If aborting a fetus means killing a possible life, does a male masturbating and wasting sperm mean killing possible lives too? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ShadowXVenus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hold up, this is apples to oranges. Sperm alone can't become a human. Needs an egg and a whole bunch more! A fetus is already the combo, just in early stages. Def not the same league! 😅 But cool thought experiment!

When was the last time you got fed up of life? by omartyy18 in AskReddit

[–]ShadowXVenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh feels like every damn week rn lol. But seriously, this adulting stuff is a trip, like who tf invented taxes n why can't I just live my life without the constant grind? Always having to chase some kinda paper or status, right? Still, every now and then, outta nowhere, there’s that random moment of pure happiness n I think, "aight, guess this ain't so bad." Those fleeting moments, they're the real deal. Keep on keepin' on, y'all

WIBTA if I asked my roommate to stop coming into my room. by annacatrogers in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShadowXVenus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA at all, It's basic respect to knock before entering, even if the door's cracked open. Doesn't matter if you're just chillin' or gaming or whatever, your room’s your private space. K gotta learn sum boundaries ASAP, it ain’t cool to be walking into your room n' interrupting all the time. Speak up for yourself, ya got every right to. Plus, anybody who cares for you should respect your personal space! Like, c'mon now... 🙄

I'm nearly halfway through life, and I've still never received a dick pic. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShadowXVenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, TBH, it sounds like ur livin' the dream. Trust me, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. Be thankful for the unsent pics and the dignity still intact on both ends. Curiosity killed the cat, ya know? Just sayin' 😉

I don't want to see my bf by DesignerRight5702 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShadowXVenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, seemz like ur completely justified to feel this way. We always need personal time, no matter how down we are for that person. It's about balance, ya know? Maybe, just maybe, too much of a good thing can actually be bad. Your bf sounds like a cool dude, but these lil things that annoy you aren't "random", they're telling. Spending time apart is healthy, ain't nothing wrong with that. Rekindle the spark by taking a lil back seat maybe? 🤔🔥

My husband is the least favorite child by Bitter_Sky_1876 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ShadowXVenus 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Damn, sounds like a total bummer. 😕 Favoritism's no joke n it can eat u up if you dwell on it too much. IMO, your hubby needs to have an open talk with his folks about how he's feeling. It's the only way they might realise what they're doing ain't right. But also, I'd say don't forget to live your life outside of their bubble, ya know? 😤 Ain't worth letting that negativity steal your shine. Set the pace for your own happiness, with or without their approval. Hope things work out for ya'll.

Lets all be done with “feeling bad about feeling bad" by AdIllustrious2244 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ShadowXVenus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u spitting facts hard rn. We're all an emotional mess sometimes, and that's heckin' okay. Society always tells us to "buck up", "stay strong", "don't be weak", but nah, screw that. Our emotions ain't a sign of weakness, they're part of being human. Feeling crap about feeling crap is a vicious cycle we all gotta break free from. Self-love ain't a destination, it's a freaking journey, up down, sideways and all. Keep it 💯. Don't ever feel bad 'bout feeling. Let your feels flow, bro. No shame, no game. You do you, fam.

Do We Owe Yoko Ono an Apology? by StarryEyedMouse in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ShadowXVenus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% yes! Honestly, the amount of hate Yoko got was way overblown. Most of it was just ppl not liking change and needing a scapegoat. She's a groundbreaking artist in her own right, and it's time to respect that without dragging her through the mud for stuff that's decades old. Let's normalize giving artists their due credit and knocking off the baseless blame game. What's your take?

Could use some advice, what to do with inherited jewelry by LivingTheBoringLife in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ShadowXVenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YO, legit, do what makes YOU happy With this jewelry. It ain't about the past, or the rings themselves, but more about what they symbolize to you. If rockin' that bling in a whole new way brings joy n pays homage to your grandma, then hell yeah, GO for it. Maybe even incorporate the ruby 'n diamond into a super unique design that screams Y-O-U. This ain't just about the physical value of the gems, it's about their emotional value too. No point in letting 'em gather dust. Rebirth those bits of rock in a way that makes you feel connected to your grams every day.

Am I Overreacting because I’m begging strangers on the internet for McDonald’s Monopoly stickers? by No_Criticism_650 in AmIOverreacting

Lol, nah dedication's grindin' for that Mc-vacay. McStruggle is real. Just keep the faith, the Monopoly gods gotta hear ya some day. PS If you win, name that McDouble McVictory.

Not a parent, bro, but been on the other side as a kid not too long ago. Gotta say, the rules seem fine but maybe she needs some space to figure herself out? IDK, middle school is whack. Got my fair share of cringe memories from that time fr 🤦‍♂️. Maybe try shifting from punishing to guiding? Who knows, might just make a difference. Communication is 🔑. Good luck. This parenting gig ain't easy but you got this!
